what happened
Irish Continental Group plc published two Form 8.3 disclosures under Irish Takeover Panel rules. Both filings were distributed through the London Stock Exchange's RNS service on 20 October 2026.
Glazer Capital, LLC bought 750,000 ordinary shares at €7.96 each on 19 October, raising its holding to 5,557,937 shares, or 3.74%. Pageant Investments Limited sold 500,000 shares at the same price and closed a cash-settled CFD long position of 25,000 reference shares. After these trades it controls 2,941,500 shares, or 1.98%.
why it matters
These disclosures are required because Irish takeover rules apply to the company, and holders of 1% or more must report their dealings. The trades around one price level show who is accumulating stock during the offer period, but the filings do not state the terms of any offer or its outcome.
